KNOWLEDGE OF ANY SUCH ORDER:

"There has been to my knowledge, no
order issued by the President for the
release of any OF the vessels seized this year,
simply because we have no knowledge OF
the circ instances under which the vessels
were se,zed; and we only know that they
are in the hands OF the court, and, there
fore, will be dealt with according to law.
There were three cases last year in which
the President saw tit to order the release
of three vessels seized in August. 1886, but
those are the only cases l know OF in which
vessels were ordered released. That oc-

A Big Water Break.

WASHINGTON. Sept. 17.-Another water
famine is upon the greater portion OF this

Somewhat Mixed.

WASHINGTON. September 1S.-With re-
gard to the statements published to-day.
alleging that Secretary Bayard had tele.
graphed Ibis officers in Alaska to release
the seized sailors. and that the order had
not been ex cuted. because the Alaska Off.
cial was not sure OF the authenticity of the
order, S cretary Bays ard said tonight that
the dispatch showed it's incorrectness on
it's face. Alaska is part OF the United
States, and consequently. the State De.
D rtment has no officers there, as it has in
foreign countries. All its knowledge OF
Alaska comes through other departments
OF the Government. The Secretary OF
State would give NO order to an Alaskan
official, nor receive information from one,
e. cept through the head OF another depart
ment. With reference to that part OF the
dispatc and other dispatches which allege
that the release of the seized sailors had
been ordered. the Secretary made the fol-
lowing explicit denial OF any

The rate OF taxation for all purposes 's
less than two per cent. The report states
that the method of assessment OF tax and
it's collection is very imperfect. and on this
account, as we'll as on account OF increasing
expenditures, ex the Territory is falling into

THE SECRETARY ANNOYED.

The Secretary was somewhat annoyed at
the criticisms which have been made upon
his course with regard to the fisheries ques-

commission for settlement. lie said he
had made proposal to Great Britain for
a settlement, and that said proposal had
been made public some time ago. Hecould

says. "Mr. Irving represents genius as in

results OF two centuries of study placed at

This is a strong position for NJ. Coquclin,
and its strength will be readily conceded
by anyone who understands and appre-
ciatcs the value OF technique in painting,
in sculpture or in music The technically
educated mechanic always has the man ut
a disadvantage who "picked up his trade,
and is GLIDE but not thorough. But It would
hardly he fair 10 put every English actor in
the same category with the picked up"
mechanic. That is too extreme lllustra-
ton, and for the reason, as Mr. Irving
holds, that the stage itself is a school full of
inspiration for those whose hearts are in
the profession Each play is an experience
making fresh demands upon the actors re-
sourccs Of skill and ability, and scrf-con-
tanned and seli.snstsining power. Blu, Mr..
Irving is, We submit, wrong in unfolding
his theory OF Sudden inspirations" upon
the stage, A character, as il leaves the
hands Of dramatis,, like the work Of
sculptor or painter, is fixed. In the de-
vclopment OF il, rs the drama uniolds. the
actor is bound TO conine himself TO that
development and not to take sudden
leaps or steps that arc no, TO be- found in
the gamu' Of real life Every character is,
ur should be, consistent, not only with its
own individuality, but in It's relations and
relationships with the surrounding and at.

a character should find that consist.
cncy even to the extent Of little things
and confnc himself 10 all its moods and
lenses, nothing cXtenuaiiug" This is
what American actors are aiming nj. They
believe that artistic excellence is life ex.

THE GROIN PRINCE A DOOMED

The news tito Berlin touching the con-
dition Of the Grown Prince Of Germany is
anything b,d rehssuring. The physicians
have got 10 Mar as TO admit that
he is afflicted by generous growth
in the thrba, and that an opera
ton is NECESSARY by which, If
successful, they moy save his life for per-
haps three years. This is grave admis-
sion, but il is likely to be modified from
time to time, with view Of preparing the
people and the prince himself for the in
eyitable. lie is doomed man. This is
80 well understood in Germany that specu-
lations as TO q Regency in case the gallant
old Emperor who is also very sick il called
away first. Germany has been very rich
in great public men within the past twenty
years. No other country can match her
bismarck or her Won MOltkc, and the CEN
tury has not produced many ADLER soldiers
than the prince whose life today
hangs upon thread. His slSillful hand
and energy helped in the victory at Sa-
dowa, and he won the frst victory of the
Franco Prussian war, that Of Weissenberg,
and two days later the moro decisive one
OF Worth, where he defeat
ed Mcmahon. Having proven his
right TO high military command,
and being pronounced Conservative
Liberal II was hoped that he would serve
the Faihcrland Ms King ana Emperor, and
satisfy and crafty the people by the estab-
lishment Of n model constitutional gov
eminent, in which direction his
sympathies extended. But this is
now impossible. lie may possibly
outliyc his father by few months, but
that would not affect anything. His son,
who is autocratic in his tendencies, would
be declared Regent preliminary to mount
ing the throne. This young man, Of very
decided character and uneven tenn
per- might surprise the German
people 10y u conservative direction
Of governmental affairs, but it is
hardly to be expected from the influence
that Prince Bismarck has over him. lie
might see it his duty to avoid trouble and
entangling Alliances, and hold what there
is of empire tesethcr. In that case, the
peace Of Europe would remain undis-
turbed, and tlmrNsould satisfy the outside
